Intel Announces New Chips, Chipsets
Saud Hakim writes "Intel showed a prototype of an IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN transceiver created by using a 90-nm CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) fabrication. The chip can switch between different networks and frequencies; it is capable of tuning and tweaking itself. It is also capable of detecting what kinds of wireless networks are available nearby and shifting to the frequency that is most appropriate." Reader serox sends more: "Intel has two big news releases today and IntelFanboy has it covered. First up is the new Xeon processors have been released with a list of improvements. Second, Intel has revealed two significant milestones in the development of extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography that will help lead to developing the next generation chip technology."
How long till 64bit processors?
What a concept, someone having a prototype of a product others is already shipping, built in a process which both they and others are shipping product from.
If this is news it's only because of plain pathetic performance of Intel in the wlan segment so far.
networking test. DOG THAT IT IS. IT You can. No, = 1400 NetBSD fucking numbers, indecision and of America (GNAA) BSD machines, li5t of other Everyday...Redefine
